Edition 2025 — Madonna della Catena Roccalumera

On the first Sunday of September 2025, Roccalumera celebrated its Madonna della Catena in the Baglio-Ficara district. After the well-attended novena, the ancient statue returned to parade through the streets of the Ionian town, carried on shoulders by bearers and accompanied by the faithful from the entire area. The day, marked by well-attended masses and the solemn procession, concluded with the traditional fireworks.

The 2025 edition

In 2025, the Feast of the Madonna della Catena in Roccalumera confirmed its devotional strength. Preceded by a heartfelt novena, the festival saw the 19th-century wooden statue carried in a solemn procession through the streets of the Baglio-Ficara district, decorated with lights, drapes, and flowers by the residents. The community renewed the custom of gold ex-voto offerings that enrich the Virgin's mantle, while the convivial evenings organized by the festival committee enlivened the neighborhood, involving adults and children, until the customary final fireworks display.
